Re-review for 2025: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM on an EOS R7

This older zoom lens always had a great reputation and a lovely zoom range - let's see if it's still useable today.

This lens will work on Canon's APS-C digital SLR cameras, but NOT full-frame digital SLR cameras. It will also work on their EOS M system and RF-mount cameras, but only with the appropriate adaptors, and it will only give an APS-C image circle. Got that?! ...well, still less complicated than the compatibility issues for old Nikon DSLR lenses heh heh.
